An 80-year-old man, driving a black Dodge pickup, left home to go shopping at 9 a.m. When he did not return home, the family called police at 3:15 p.m. He returned home at 9:50 p.m. The man suffers from bouts of forgetfulness and confusion and likely became lost, having only moved to the area recently.

Officers responded to a call of a shoplifter in custody. Zachary Keser (3/19/92) tried to flee on foot through the parking lot. Officers took him into custody after a short foot chase. Keser was booked for felony theft, felony warrant, possession of controlled substance (meth and prescription pills) and fleeing.

Fire responded on a psych problem/possible suicidal person. They located a 22-year-old man with a belt around his neck. He started acting even more strangely, so they backed out and waited for police. Officers found the man with the belt around his neck, hiding under the blanket on his bed. When the man refused to follow instructions, officers picked him up to carry him downstairs for a medical evaluation. After the man kicked officers a few times and tried to punch them in the face, an officer deployed a Taser to stop the struggle. At this point, the man’s younger brother became angry that a Taser had been used, so he attacked the officers. Both subjects were booked for assault on a police officer and obstruction.
